COLLEGE RECEPTION

Students welcomed

By CHERYL CALDERBANK
Staff Writer

Selkirk College officially welcomed
11 international students at a reception
Wednesday night at the Castlegar
campus.

The gathering was attended by
about 50 college board members, home
stay parents, and faculty members,
along with the international students:
from Hong Kong, three from the U.S
and one from Fiji

Three of the Hong Kong students
who are pursuing their studies at
Selkirk College are a result of the
college's endeavors to attract interna
tional students.

According to Gwen Armstrong,
coordinator of Adult Basic Education
and English as a Second Language
(ESL) programs, four of the Hong
Kong students were already in Canada
attending private schools

At Selkirk, the 50 per cent of the
Hong Kong students’ time is spent
taking ESL training while the other
half is spent in either high school
completion programs or first-year uni
versity courses.

College president Leo Perra told the
gathering that the college has been
exploring international education for
several years but it wasn't until 1'/2
years ago that it decided it wanted to
become involved

The college's involvement began
with Perra’s trip to Japan and Korea at
the invitation of the Ministry of

Education. Perra also made a trip to
Hong Kong. The three students from
Hong Kong are a result of his trip
there

Perra said in Japan he found that
most people were interested in English
language programs of between three
and five weeks. To meet the needs of
the Japanese students, Selkirk College
is combining education with recreation
English language training is being
offered with skiing in the winter, and
golfing in the summer.

But in Korea, Perra explained that
people want English language training
in a Canadian environment. Plans are
to have 23 students and two instructors
from Chung Ang University in Seoul
arrive in mid-January for a five-week
Canadian cultural exchange program

In Hong Kong and other countries in
the Orient, that don't have a wide
array of post-secondary opportunities,
students travel overseas to attend
school

Perra said those are the kinds of
students Selkirk College is hoping to
attract. He added that another nine
students are to arrive from Hong Kong
in early January to take up studies
here.

We are beginning to see results
from visits there,” he said

In February, a group of 20 Japanese
students will arrive for a four-week
course on English and Canadian cul
ture.

In March plans are for two Selkirk

College instructors to undertake a

English language teaching
contract with the Hyundai corporation
in Korea

Between May and July
courses will be offered to Hong Kong
students.

Also in July a group of 20 students
from Selkirk’s sister institution in
Tokyo, Aoyama Technical College, will
arrive for a three-week course in
English and Canadian culture. As well,
two instructors from Selkirk will spend
seven weeks at the Summer Interna
tional Education Institute at Chung
Ang University in Seoul

In August, Selkirk will have
intake of full-time students from Hong
Kong. The college is also hoping to
have students from Singapore and
Malaysia

Perra added that the success of the
international

one-year

summer

a new

education
depends on two things — the quality of
the experience students receive while
at the college, and the
situation.

We need to have good homes for
students to stay in,” he said
important for the parents. They want
you to watch out for their children

Perra added that there is a lot of
keen interest overseas in students
coming to Canada

“It is viewed with envy by a lot of
people. There seems to be a good
interest in having a Canadian exper
ience.”

Job grant
received

By CasNews Staff
The Castlegar and District Develop-
ment Board has received a $76,790
grant under the federal Jobs Strategy

Program.

The grant will be used to employ
nine workers — one manager and eight
long-term unemployed Castlegar resi
dents — for 18 weeks.

The workers will be given theoreti.
cal and practical training in forestry,
techniques; including juvenile spacing,
brushing and weeding, and conifer re
lease in the Castlegar, Goose Creek and
Mount Sentinel areas.

The workers will receive classroom
training through Selkirk College's For.
estry Crew Workers course. Upon
completion of the course and the
project, the workers will have the skills
of qualified forest workers and be able
to compete in the job market

The project began at the end of
November and will be completed in
mid-April.

pivy of Castlegar has voted 87 per
cent in favor of a new four-year
contract with Westar Timber’s South-
ern Forest Products.

The contract, which runs from last
Oct. 1 to Oct.1, 1990, will be sent to the
Guild's Vancouver office for review and
should be “inked up in about a week,”
said Ed Conroy, Arrow Lakes rep-
resentative for the Guild.

tions were amiable and the
solution arrived at was satisfactory to
both parties,” said Conroy.

The 25 Guild members will receive a
zero per cent increase in the first year
and a 40-cent per hour increase in the
second year. The terms of increase for
the third and fourth year will be set by
forest industry settlement standards.

According to Conroy, agreements
between the merchant service guild
and Westar usually follow overall for.
est industry agreements.

Unlike the International Woodwork

a five-month dispute, the guild man

gees,” said Conroy. “We do all the =
towing and we want to ensure that we
continue to do all the log towing.”

Conroy said that both parties in-
volved in the agreement are pleased
with the outcome.

“In a successful negotiation there are
no winners and no losers,” he said.

Conroy, who works as a mate in the
marine division, pointed out that the
Guild has taken a keen interest in
Westar’s continuing modernization.

“It’s a bit of a Catch-22 situation,”
said Conroy of the modernization
movement in the plant. “It's necessary
to enable the company to compete
effectively in the industry but it may
also have an eventual effect on the
work force.

“The agreement will allow the com
pany to complete plant renewal with
out any disturbance from us,” he said

The 25 employees in the marine
division in Castlegar hold positions of
masters or mates. They operate
approximately 15 vessels which deliver
logs on the Arrow Lakes over a
distance of up to 210 kilometres.
